Two things happened this month in relative proximity to one another: The Committee on the Rights of the Child opened its seventy-ninth session on September 17th and a coalition of pro-abortion groups presented a joint statement advocating for the protection of Women’s Rights defenders as Human rights defenders to the Human Rights Council in Geneva on September 24th.

Marginalized. Manipulated. Lied to. That’s how many socially and fiscally conservative members of the Ontario PC Party felt in October 2017 when then Leader Patrick Brown announced that anti-carbon tax and social conservative policy resolutions would be “off limits” at the PC’s upcoming policy convention.

Even though Amnesty International adopted a 'new' abortion policy, it is important to point out that, for many years, they have already been extremely busy advocating for abortion, in countries where it was illegal, by well-funded marketing campaigns and protests.

In past years, when being suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with a foreign flag waving from the flag pole of our Elliot Lake City Hall, a flag that is neither the Union Jack nor our Canadian flag, and one having no relation to me as a Canadian citizen, I'm led to ponder and seriously question the rationale behind the phenomenon.

Doug Ford won the PC leadership on Saturday by a razor-thin margin, beating the pro-abortion and pro-transgender ideology Christine Elliott by a mere 1.2% on the final ballot. Ford ended up with 50.6 per cent of electoral votes to Elliott’s 49.4 per cent.

It has been almost universally acknowledged by the mainstream media that the social conservative vote is the key factor which crowned him king. That’s indisputable based on analysis of the numbers.

If you’re an employer that believes that life should be legally protected from the moment of conception until natural death, or in the biblical definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, or that gender isn’t fluid but biologically defined… sorry but not sorry.

On November 13th, the PC Party announced the vote results of the winning policy proposals that would guide a future PC government. Every single one of the 139 policies that party members voted on from November 2nd to November 6th passed by a landslide; not a single one of the 139 policy proposals were defeated by voters, not even those so poorly written that you can’t understand what the heck it means. Curiously, most of the proposals garnered less than 15% NO votes.

That’s a very peculiar result, given that the two largest wings of the PC base (social conservatives & fiscal conservatives) are outraged with Brown for having rigged the policy process from the start.
